Gratefully Remembering and Honoring

Memorial Day is almost over and yet I find I can't let it go by without a commemorative post.

My gratitude continues for those brave soldiers from so many generations who have sacrificed - and continue to sacrifice - to allow those of us who live in the United States to live in freedom. Their sacrifices of comfort, time, knowledge, courage, mental health, and sometimes their very lives, remind me that freedom isn't free.

With gratitude I say to all soldiers of the United States, both past and present, Thank you!

About Me

Sometimes I want to jump back in time, into the lives of my ancestors. Not to stay, of course -- too many modern conveniences I'd rather not do without -- but to meet them and watch their interactions with each other. Since I can't do that, I spend time learning about them and the times in which they lived. I look forward to meeting them. I've been seriously searching for my ancestors for nearly 8 years. I plan to continue indefinitely.
If you think we might have ancestors in common or you'd like to contact me for any other reason, please email me at myancestorsandme @ gmail.com.
